Doomed – Sunday League

May 23, 2018

A little hangover session for the Doomed Brand squad…

Last week the Doomed Brand launched with their Doomed Promo video, that lead to an after party that we’re sure was far from light on the booze and extra curricular. The next morning a bunch of guys got together for a jam that, despite a few hangovers, was fairly productive. Check out what went down!

“After the night that Doomed launch the guys got together for a sesh in Leeds. I don’t think any of the crew were actually alive for this.

Shout out to the riders: @mudhutdan @foley_20 @littleshredder1 @bengdonbmx @crazzypetebmx” – DIG

The latest Madera Memo has arrived. This time around we get a short but sweet edit from a session that Jeff Dowhen and Mike Hinkens got in on a backyard patio bank to sub setup. This is a pretty tight space and the ramp isn’t exactly Nate Wessel quality, but it was enough for Jeff and Mike to have a productive session. Check out what went down!

“When you have some scrap wood, why not build a ramp. And when your from the Midwest, why not build a sub box… even if it’s on your patio in South America. Mike and Jeff put a technical hurting on this rickety bank to ledge as the sun beat down on them near the equator. Enjoy. Then go build something and shred it.
